Intro

Here are instructions on editing your website. There are some areas that you won’t be able to edit but we can update those areas for you. We have a backup system running at all times so you won’t lose anything if you accidentally delete any content. We also have copies of any web form enquiries that come through.

You can access the website at any time with the login and password you have been provided with. If you forget your password you can reset it here via email.

 

Logging into your website

To login go to www.munchandbloom.co.nz/wp-admin.

Once you are logged in you will see your dashboard. The main menu is down the left-hand side.

From the dashboard, you can do the following: (listed below are the most common options)

  • Posts – view, create or edit blog posts (if you have a blog setup)

When you do this another tab will open in your browser showing you what the page will look like when you save the changes.

Pricing

Pricing is either per unit which uses the conventional pricing or per kg which uses the measure table table which is available under meansurement when editing the products. Anything set with the price per kg, cant have the price adjusted using the bulk editor. Products set by the unit should be able to be price edited with the bulk editor. Other aspects of products that are priced by kg should be able to be edited with the bulk editor, just not the price.

Adding products

If you want to add products you can either start from scratch or clone products. If cloniing be sure to choose a existing product that matches the style of product you are adding, either a price by unit, eg 1 = $3.99 or a price by kg eg 1 kgh = $3.99. If you dont get that right the pricing wont work properly.
